RTH w/ Precision Landing

[Storyline]

Thanks for your help.

Ambient light was great, it was approximately 3:30pm. T/O area was my driveway, same place I have launched and recovered several times with accuracy of a couple inches. It took off and slowly ascended to approx 20 feet. GPS was like 12-15 sats if I remember correctly.

I didn’t turn the sensors off but I didn’t check that. Where would I find that setting? How do I go about calibration?

Thank you again.

I know you say it has worked several times but when you say driveway does that have enough contrasting patterns etc to give a strong recognisable picture ? I saw a video somewhere which said this is why those round collapsible drone launch pads are so good - they have a simple but well defined geometric shape printed on them and the colour stands out strongly against most surfaces. Might be worth a try as they are cheap and have other advantages such as minimising the amount of dust kicked up by the prop wash.

FWIW I always have precision landing switched off as I really hate the aircraft taking over for the last few feet when coming in to land manually. Also, with it switched off, take off is only to 5 feet or so which I really like as I can then be in control for the initial ascent (I must be a control freak !)

I think I used RTH once, then was like "nope, never again with that beeping."

I have never had an issue with precision landing, but I do use a take off pad which is bright orange and the MP1 lands within an inch of where it took off, on the rare occasions I let it. But like a lot of others, I only use RTH to bring the aircraft closer and then cancel it to land manually

I have a Mavic pro and after I did the last update I few it out four times. I have a landing pad and there's a spot on it. I put the mavic with the battery button over the spot and every time it came back it landed on that spot. Both my flying buddy and I were surprised that it landed back on that spot every time. Precision landing works Great for me.

theres several threads here explaining this but overall your drone doesnt have precision landing.

It’s coming in a later FW upgrade
